REDBUDS and DOGWOODS
Hello, I purchased 4 white dogwoods and two redbud's (along with 3
other trees) all are 5 feet tall and have what looks like good form with nice branches. I planted them about 3 weeks ago as I thought we were through with any really cold weather. All of the other the trees have started to sprout some new life but the dogwoods and the redbud's have not. I planted them according to the instructions I was given and water them every other 2-3 days really well. I hope that I didn't hurt them by planting them to soon. Does anyone have experience with new smaller trees and planting. I am in zone 6 and the soil is just amazing, I am in grape growing country. can someone tell me if the are going to be ok ? I really hope so, I love these types of trees and hope I will see them grow into big beautiful trees. Thanks RJ's |

They probably don't need that much water. After they break dormancy is when they will need to be watered but not so much they are in a puddle. -- Travis in Shoreline (just North of Seattle) Washington USDA Zone 8 Sunset Zone 5 |

BUT young dogwoods need a good amount of moisture, and will succumb to drought much more quickly than older trees. Don't puddle, but don't let get too dry, either. They *are* beautiful trees in every season. Good luck with yours. |
